## About The Pull Request Once you gain a level in Athletics you will gain the ability to evaluate the relative muscularity (in terms of unarmed combat) of your fellow crewmates by examining them. Various factors influence this; - The damage dealt by your limbs. - Your experience in the fitness skill. - Various quirks, genetic mutations, and brain traumas. In order to make this not an antagonist check, Changelings will now also be able to copy your athletics skill level when they steal your DNA. This is... admittedly a little weird, but this is a consequence of using "skills" to represent a physical attribute I guess. ## Why It's Good For The Game During the social experiment we sometimes call "April Fools Day" it became apparent to me that our playerbase liked to watch a number go up, a quality marked especially in those players who liked to have their characters hang out in the gym. Many of them made their characters repeatedly hang out in the gym and work out even though doing this had no effect at all on the number they were supposedly increasing. I would like to give this joy back to them. <sub><sup>Additionally I have heard that the ability to retain players by stimulating their desire to see numbers increase is good for our annual retention metrics.</sub></sup> Ultimately this is a very silly feature but I think that there often _can be_ a comparative aspect to bodybuilding and letting players be competitive in terms of looking at each other's completely meaningless numbers gives them something to base a story around. Also I mostly only make silly features. ## Changelog 🆑 add: People who spend time improving their bodies are able to evaluate the relative physical strength of those they examine as a kind of "power level". add: Changeling transformation copies the target's athletics skill level. /🆑
